Bryson Stott drove in two runs Friday, including the game-winner in the eighth inning, to help the host Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 victory over Detroit, snapping the Tigers' four-game winning streak.
Starter Ranger Suarez gave up three runs on four hits over seven innings for Philadelphia.
The Tigers jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the third inning when Gleyber Torres belted his 12th homer of the year 404 feet to left field, scoring Wenceel Perez and Jahmai Jones.
Philadelphia loaded the bases in the seventh and pulled within 3-1 when Stott flew out to center field, driving in Nick Castellanos. Otto Kemp cut it to 3-2 when he scored off of Trea Turner's single to right field. The Phillies knotted the game with Kyle Schwarber's single to right field that brought home newly- acquired Harrison Bader.
On the ensuing at-bat, Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper was ejected when he argued with third base umpire Vic Carapazza who called him out on a check swing third strike.
The Tigers retook the lead when Perez hit a solo shot to center field in the eighth off of Orion Kerkering (6-4).
The Phillies tied it at 4-all in the bottom of the inning with Kemp's double that scored Castellanos from second and went ahead 5-4 when Stott's infield single brought in Kemp. Stott had originally been called out on a throw to first base but a challenge by Philadelphia was successful.
Despite allowing the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, Kerkering picked up the win. Jhoan Duran, who was obtained in a trade with Minnesota on Wednesday, came on in the ninth inning and registered three quick outs for his 17th save of the season.
Detroit starter Jack Flaherty struck out seven and allowed one run and two hits over six innings. Four Tigers relievers were unable to keep the Phillies at bay. Brenan Hanifee (3-3) picked up the loss after allowing Philadelphia's final two runs.
